Rising Artist

     While roaming through the “ReadyMade magazine” online, I came across an article/gallery of pictures that I really enjoyed. This article/gallery talks about a man named Jay Nelson who used to make skateboards and surfboards. Nelson was also a painter, so he wasn't completely new to art. By combining his fabrication background with his painting skills, he was able to create this new form of art. He now makes art that comes in the shape of scooters and pods and other vehicle-related objects. How cool is that? This form of art is relatively new and interesting. He started out by making the original Car Camper (2007), which was a car with a mini-shed like room attached to the back on the car. His art has expanded so much that he now creates boats that can actually float in water! He also does paintings and sketches that look really awesome. Nelson seems to like to sketch a lot of landscapes. Landscapes are drawings that involve the environment such as trees, foliage, rivers, and mountains.

This is a picture of one of his piece's that he calls "The Golden Gate 1"

    
     Nelson is very young (only 31) and I am truly looking forward to seeing some of his art later in the future. Nelson has talent and his career has only just begun.
